GAO Confirms Julie Su's Legitimate Role as Acting Labor Secretary
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has determined that Julie Su can continue serving as the acting head of the US Department of Labor indefinitely, clarifying that her status is legal and in line with the original law establishing the department. The GAO's decision comes after months of accusations from Republicans that her temporary leadership is unconstitutional. This ruling gives the Biden administration the green light to keep Su as the leader of the DOL until the end of Biden's first term, despite lacking Senate confirmation. It also dismisses threats from Republicans and business groups that Su's actions as acting secretary could face legal challenges.
